The Home...

If you’re looking for a detached character home in a prime location for Haywards Heath Station then this utterly fabulous 1930s family home on the prestigious, private Wickham Way could be just the one you’ve been waiting for.

This handsome home is offered to the market for the first time in over twenty years, was designed by distinguished local architect Harold G Turner and sits on an enviable “plot and a half” that extends to approximately 1/5th of an acre creating immense scope for a sizeable extension, subject to planning permission. Opportunities to acquire detached homes with this much potential in this location are seldom available so this is a chance you won’t want to miss.

Internally, the home is lovely order and offers well-proportioned accommodation that is ideal for a family. Upon entry you’re welcomed by a central hallway with beautiful parquet flooring that is the first nod to the age of the home.

The sitting room is an inviting space that lures you in with its attractive bay window, dual aspect and fireplace which provides a natural focal point.

The dining room opens out on the garden and sits adjacent kitchen with breakfast bar. The layout of these two rooms means there is scope to knock through to create a more open plan space, if preferred (see floorplan). A side door leads out to a useful lean-to, which in turn leads into the large attached garage which provides excellent storage.

The home office is generously proportioned and is the perfect study for those who work from home. Alternatively, this could make a great playroom or teenager’s den.

There is also the essential ground floor cloakroom.

Heading upstairs you have three superb bedrooms, each being a generous double. The principle bedroom is particularly impressive, extending to nearly 16ft with a large bay window and lovely open views over Haywards Heath.

Each is served by the family bathroom with separate cloakroom – handy on those busy mornings!

The home has gas fired central heating with boiler in the loft. This was installed in 2023. The windows are all double glazed and for those who work from home or love to stream there is Ultrafast broadband speed available.

Stepping Outside...

Stepping outside, you have the most delightful east facing garden which offers incredibly privacy and seclusion with established plants, flowers, trees, shrubs and lawn. The paved terrace is a lovely spot for some ‘al-fresco’ dining. There are three small ponds and you could “claim back” a lot of extra useable garden space at the rear by reducing some of the more mature shrubbery.

To the front, you have another pretty garden which creates a natural privacy screen and driveway parking for 2-3 cars.

Scope/Potential...

In our opinion, this home offers huge scope for a sizeable two story extension in place of the garage. There is also potential for a rear extension and possible loft conversion. Any work is of course subject to planning permission.
